MikeyT Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Just wondering what peoples views and opinions are on the subject of long distance relationships. Do you think they can work or are they doomed to fail! Please discuss!
Monk Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Depends what you class as long distance. I went out with a girl who moved to Japan, and we kept it going for 5 months. It was very tough. I also went out with a girl who lived in Manchester (I live in London), that lasted about a year. It can work, but I'd say seeing each other any less than once or twice per month is stretching it, and I guess it depends if it's always going to be long distance or if it's only temporary.
Asha Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Just wondering what peoples views and opinions are on the subject of long distance relationships. Do you think they can work or are they doomed to fail!Please discuss! Were in a long distance relationship for 14 months, which for someone my age is quite an achievement. In 14 months, were alone with her for 2 hours. I was so confident it could last as long as, but with long distance relationships always come at least a slight lack of trust, and total frustration at not seeing them.

General Smuts Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Mines in America at the moment but normally she lives in Essex and we've been together for fooking ages. The key is communication as they say in them handbook things. Talk to them and you'll be reet.

SamL Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Personally, I don't think they can work. I've never had one but I know friends who have and they've said it's very hard to do.

Guest Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Last one I had didn't. I'm in London she was back in Leics, but to be honest I don't think it was the distance so much as the fact that neither of us was really into it. If you both really want to make it work then I think it can

The key is communication as they say in them handbook things. Talk to them and you'll be reet. Exactly. My girlfriend lives in North Yorkshire (about 45 minutes from Middlesbrough) and I live in Reading, so it's over 4 hours to drive there. We see each other 2-3 times a month for about 4-5 days (sometimes longer). For at least 30 weeks of the year though she's in Leamington Spa, which is less than an hour and a half away, so we see each other a lot more then. We talk every day on the phone and it works out grand.

Do you think they can work or are they doomed to fail!Please discuss! Depends how much you'd miss them, and whether you really care about the girl you with or whether it's just a bit of fun. I'd say no it doesn't work
Bellend Sebastian Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Having just come out of a relationship where g/f insisted on speaking to me EVERY BLEEDING DAY, I appreciate that even if there's distance between you, if they've got a telephone there's still no escape. It all boils down to whether both of you are bothered enough about the thing to make it work

blue blood Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 it really depends on where the relationship is going. if it is serious and the distance is a eans to an end then it has a chance if either party is not totally into it then its easy to drift apart. Phone conversations are not the same as spending time together. It Puts extra strain on the relationship without a doubt.
blue blood Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 yeh but is speaking on the telephone good enough? no. But it depends on how 'seroius' the relationship is
Bellend Sebastian Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 yeh but is speaking on the telephone good enough? I thought it was a bit much, if I'm honest
Tabou Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Long distance relationships are Boss. The chances of getting caught playing away are DRAMATICALLLY reduced.
Tommy G Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Long distance relationships are Boss.The chances of getting caught playing away are DRAMATICALLLY reduced. Well I don't see the point in being in a relationship if your going to be doing that
Tabou Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Well I don't see the point in being in a relationship if your going to be doing that You obviously have never dated my ex girldfriend*. You, too, would shag anything else. * Girlfriend, thattts right!
Tommy G Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 You obviously have never dated my ex girldfriend*.You, too, would shag anything else. * Girlfriend, thattts right! Well if you didnt find her attractive then you should have got rid early doors!!
Foxhateram Posted 31 July 2008 Posted 31 July 2008 Well I don't see the point in being in a relationship if your going to be doing that awwwwwwwwww Tommy G has morals. I'd never be able to do long distance. The fact you would have to not get any attention for like weeks inbetween seeing them would make me feel crap. Flirting is a major part to my personality it always lands me in shit, but if im with someone normally i can contropl it aslong as i get a decent amount of attention from my partner. No attention for that long would make me flirt with other girls that live nearer. It would never work for me.
